Library Not Loading

[tbahrman]

I'm running the latest release of RuneAudio (v0.3-beta (14/04/2015)) on a new Raspberry Pi 2 - Model B - ARMv7 with 1G RAM. I've copied music files onto a USB thumb drive (both 32GB and 128GB, trying both Fat32 and ext3 file formats). I'm able to mount the USB drive, but the system seems to hang when building the MPD library. On the Playback page of the UI, I get a bunch of spinning "loading" circles. In the Library nothing is displayed. I can search the library and files will then appear, so I know the device is reading the USB drive, but I'm unable to play those files. Alternatively, I mounted a remote Linux file server and tried loading and playing the music files from the remote server--same result. I tried reflashing the SD micro card to see if that fixed anything--same result.

Any thoughts from the collectively? Thanks!

Thanks Frank.

Yes, the USB auto-mounted when I inserted the drive. The music files are approx. 50GB total. I left it running over night and the spinning wheel never disappeared. In fact, before I mounted the USB or the server, the spinning wheel never stopped--without any files to index.

I'll start again with a clean SD card, try the update as suggested, and report back.

Thanks again,
Tom

The updates helped, thanks. The library is now able to load, mostly--I had to reboot after mounting the USB, but eventually the library came up. Unfortunately, now I cannot get the player to play any of the songs in the library. I can load songs into the Queue, and the UI indicates the song is ready to be played, but it never advances the music--it acts like it's stuck in pause.

I know the sound is working because I'm able to play music through the Raspberry Pi using AirPlay.

Additional thoughts or ideas? Thanks!!

The audio output interface is presently set to RaspberryPi Analog Out. Sounds works fine with AirPlay, as mentioned. I have a HiFiBerry that I intended to install, but haven't yet. Perhaps I should try installing that now on top of the RaspberryPi.

You inquired why I need to reboot. The spinning circles just kept spinning on the Library page. Once I rebooted the device, the circles stopped spinning and showed me the library. However, as noted, I'm not unable to play anything in the library.

Other thoughts? Thanks!

Sorry for the confusion. I initially started with the HiFiBerry DAC+, but added it later in the process. The HiFiBerry DAC+ is working fine via Airplay. However, the library still will not load--either connected to a server source or a USB source. I'm able to connect to the source, but the MPD won't seem to load--continually spinning wheels. Occasionally on reboot I can see the library, but even then I'm unable to play any song from the library.

Any further thoughts? I can send debug data if it would help. I appreciate the guidance--I've run out of ideas to try.

Best,
Tom

Hi tbahrman,

you first have to add the songs to the queue before you can play them.

Also try to add radio stations from DIRBLE.
